It's futile to race against the money hungry capitalistic machine, but it's not futile to steer your own career into work that's more lucrative or is more enjoyable, be it with our without AI tools.
Often repeated meme doesn’t have any bearing to reality.

We try to keep things simple. Everything has risks. No stall, run async, backward compatible. DB handles rollback via transactions. Happy to expand if interested.

The future will have LLMs running local at your laptop/devices. If not almost exclusively then at least for 90-95% of the tasks. Speculative decoding is just one technique out of many existing and more to come that will make this even more viable. The gap is closing on both fronts. Software gets faster/more clever. Hardware gets faster and smaller. The single user story is the story. I'm obviously speculating myself, but that's how I see it.
